They are charming animals; you simply have not lived until you have had one deploy its highly evolved predatory instincts to pull the insoles out of all your shoes and hide them under the bed, along with all the attachments from the vacuum cleaner. Feel free to post this, if you like.

SET

Has anyone heard about >this, or what it might be? Actually, I did not claim to break SET. What I said was: (a) because SET is such a complicated protocol, I am certain that it does have flaws; (b) SET does not have a clear design philosophy -- for example, it has modes in which a consumer's credit card number is hidden from a merchant and modes when it is given to a merchant. These ambiguous design points in the protocol make the protocol vulnerable to misuse. I have not made a serious effort to crack SET, yet. -- Doug Tygar
